Using Windows Authentication V/s Mixed Authentication
Hi, Say, I have configured my SQL to use Mixed Authentication. Now, I have a applicaiton which uses my SQL Server. The application just creates a database in SQL Server and uses the database to store its information. This application also has a SYSTEM DSN under ODBC through which it accesses the database. For the application to access this database, should I only use SA (as my SQL instance is configured to use Mixed Authentication) or can I use Windows Authentcation too... If I should only use SA, do we have a documentation which talks about this. Thanks Santhosh

Mixed Authentication
Hi All,We have started to get the strangest errors with our SQL Server. We useWindows and SQL Server authentication, and have done successfully forthe last year or so. However last week i had trouble connecting to theenterprise manager with my domain credentials. Users connecting to QueryAnalyser have no problems when using their SQL Server logins, the issueonly seems to arrise when a Domain account is provided forauthentication. If we reboot the server all is well for about 1 - 2hours and then we loose the Domain credentials again. Even SQL Agentfails to work when stated with the DOMAINAdministrator account!As i said this has worked for a long time, and we have not made anychanges to the Domain or installed any patches for any of the servers.The error messages normally involve something along the lines of "NoUser 'NULL' blah blah" and "No Trusted SQL Server". We also have anexcel report that is failing with the SQL Server error number 18452. Ihave looked this up on MSDN, and this seems to fall in to the samecategory as our other errors.Any Ideas?We can't reboot the server every 2 hours!*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Mixed Authentication
In the scenario where you are installing MSDE/SQL Server at a customer site (not your own) is this true: Assuming the customer has a (Windows) login with admin rights (or is a member of the admins group) over the PC which the server was installed on, there is no way of locking the customer out of any part of the SQL Server installation and its databases as Mixed Authentication (which you can't turn off) will always allow members of the (Windows) admins group to also be a member of the SQL Server admins group???

Questions On A Mixed-mode Authentication
First post, so greetings!I've been using ASP.NET 2 authentication from an MS SQL 2k5 database now in the web application for my company's customer accounts (file serving, custom webreports, etc). There is currently no support for employees through this web app, but in our plan to go paperless it's become of interest to let the employees access much of their information through the same web portal. The catch is, I'd rather not make them have to use two accounts (one for their domain authentication and one for their web authentication). It's already taken a lot of conditioning to get them to memorize a single username and password.So what I really need is the single Login.aspx page to accept both ASP.NET logins and Domain digest logins, and the Domain digest login needs to be HTTP based (not named pipes). Is this possible at all, and if so, is it possible without making an isapi filter? After all, Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access is served by the exchange server and accepts active directory passwords. So how could I do authentication in this way, and if so, is it possible to have the Outlook Web Access form be accessible from the same session as that of my web server? Thanks, I surely hope someone can help. . . -Brandon

Changing From Windows To Mixed Authentication
Hi AllI am trying to switch from Windows to Mixed mode authentication on SQLServer 2000. I am right-clicking the server instance in EnterpriseManager and selecting the correct option from the Security tab.Unfortunately, the change I make does not persist when I click OK. Iget no error message, but when I re-open the server properties, theoption has returned to being Windows authentication.Any ideas?Thanks,Kulgan.

Mixed Mode Vs. Windows Authentication
I am trying to create a query that can determine if a user id is using mixed mode/windows/both authentication. I need to do this so that it can run on both sql server 2000 and 2005, meaning I can't use any of the sys.* views. Is there a single query could use for both systems? -Kyle

Problem Connecting To A SQL Server Database With Mixed Authentication
I have created a Web Service created that have to connect to a SQL Server 2005 Database with mixed authentication. If I use the "virtual IIS" provided by Visual Studio I retrieve data, but if I put the project in local IIS, using localhost, I get an error in the connection, it says that I can´t connect with the user ' ' to the database. I solved it adding <identity impersonate="true" to the web.config file in the web service, but now I can´t connect from the client side, the error i get is "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied." I don´t have any idea of how to impersonate the client side, I´ve tried to add the same line to the app.config, but it´s not recognised. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Mixed Mode Authentication Interaction With .NET - Strange Problem
I did my best to search through the knowledge base and the forum here to see if my question had been asked and answered before, but I wasn't able to find anything specific. My apologies in advance if this has been discussed. I'm running into a very strange situation in the environment that I support. We are looking at making a number of changes to our infrastructure, and one of the changes requires us to segment the SQL servers away from the domain. As part of that we'll be switching our application (.NET 2.0 / C#) from using Windows/Integrated security to SQL security. We made the change today in our test environment and are running into a very strange issue that I'm hoping someone can shed some light on. We are seeing blocking in the database when using SQL authentication that we do NOT see when using Windows authentication. A set of transactions that complete under Windows authentication block themselves under SQL authentication and time out. The permissions between the SQL user and the Windows user are identical, so I don't see that as an issue. I even went as far as to give both users SA rights for the purposes of eliminating that from the equation. Even with SA the same behavior exists. Has anyone run into this before? From all of the documentation I've been able to find, there isn't anything about a SQL authenticated user that would force it to adhere to a different locking model/transaction isolation level as opposed to a Windows user. I'm really at a loss as to where to look. This happens in each of our environments, on different hardware and different installations, so I don't think that is part of it. Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

Mixed Mode Authentication Conversion-Post Setup
I need help changing the authentication mode from Windows Authentication to Mixed Mode (for Project Server 2003). I am unable to find the Enterprise Management area. Evidently in this area, I can make this change. Is this the place to make these changes, or is there a better place? I am a novice, only days into this process. I need to setup a Project Server, and it needs Sql to breathe. Please help me!!

ASP Authentication With SQL Server 2005 - Not Express, Permanent Change
Hi all, I've read up on the fact that if you use SQL server 2005 instead of SQL express you need to change the connection string in web.config. Is there anyway to make this default connection type, or do I have to do it for every website I create. i.e. is there a global file that this connection can be entered into. Then whenever I start a new website I don't have to put the string in. Just me being lazy really. But it's nice to know if it's possible. Many thanks DrB2k2

Cached Reports REQUIRE That SQL Server Used SQL Server Authentication (or Mixed)?
I am trying to setup cached reports so that one of my larger reports doesn't have to be re-run every time someone wants to view it (the data source only updates every 24 hours). Anyway I made a new data source, set the report to use that, and in that data source I said to use "SQLexampleUserName" as the stored credentials. Now when I go to run the report it says: Login failed for user 'username'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. This is referenced in the MSKB here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555332 Which makes sense, but now my question is: If I want to used a cached report do I HAVE to allow SQL Server Credentials? I was using Windows Authentication only up to this point.

Report Server Authentication Errors (custom Security Authentication)
This has been plauging us for a year now and still haven't figured it out. We wrote a custom authentication extension based completely off the example code MS provided with SQL Server 2005. We upgraded to SP2 thinking it might fix the problem. Nope... here is what happens... you go to our server and there is a pause for about 5 seconds then the login page shows up I login with a user and pass then it just sits there with the loading icon spinning in IE. Eventually (this happens every time!) it comes back with Code Block "The report server is not responding. Verify that the report server is running and can be accessed from this computer. " If you refresh that page it loads fine! ok seems odd... went ot the LogFiles folder and there is a minidump and a bunch of logs around the time that happened.

Sql Authentication = Fast./ Windows Authentication = V.slow!
Hello, (Using win2k, sqlserver2k, framework 1.1) I have an fairly data-heavy application that uses Windows authentication (Trusted connection/aspnet account) to connect to Sql Server. The site uses IIS basic authentication. On the dev server everything works fine but when I move to the live server things get strange and it starts to crawl along. (Pages load OK but then it just crawls as it loads the datagrids etc. Sometimes it brings back incomplete/incorrect data ) BUT When I use Sql Authentication to connect to Sql Server and there is no problem at all! Ok, there is something obviously wrong with the live server (which is identical setup to dev)but I dont know where to start. Any ideas??

Using SQL Authentication And Windows Integrated Authentication Concurrently
Hi all, I've got two applications which both have a database on my MS SQL 2000 server. The problem is, one application must use Windows Integrated Authentication (which it is currently using and cannot be changed) whilst the other application which I'm trying to configure must use a SQL password. Since the server has already been configured to use Windows Integrated Authentication for the existing database and application, how do I configure the other database to use the SQL password? Thanks.

Authentication An Application Using Windows Integrated Authentication
Hi all, My work is using a shared application which accesses a MSSQL 2000 database. To access the application, the folder on the Windows 2003 Server is shared and users can access the folder through a shared drive. For the application to access the database, it uses an ODBC connection to the MSSQL server which originally used the SA password. We have recently switched to using Windows Integrated Authentication because we believe it offers a higher level of security. However the only way in which we have been able to enable this is to add the windows users to the SQL server. The problem with this is that the application sets permissions for individual users on what records they can see within the database. We have found that by adding the windows users to the SQL Server, they can bypass the permissions the set by the application by simply using any application that can use an ODBC connection, such as Enterprise Manager, and see all the database. One way around this would be to set up domains of users with access privileges to the tables which reflect the permissions set by the application, and configuring a view of the data so they may only see the records that they have permissions to. However to do this would require a high administrative cost to ensure that changes made in the application are reflected in the privileges of the SQL server. Instead, is there a way the SQL server can authenticate that the ODBC connection is coming from the correct application using Windows Integrated Authentication? This would allow the applcation to determine security, and stop users from connecting to the SQL server using other applications. Alternatively, can the SQL server, using Windows Integrated Authentication, also ask the application to supply a username and password? Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Switching From SQL Authentication To Integrated Authentication?
Hi,I'm using SQL Server 2005. My Connection String looks like that at the moment: <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=xx;Initial Catalog=xx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xx;Password=xx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> Now I'd like to change this kind of authentication to Integrated Windows AuthenticationI added the WorkerProcess IIS_WPG to the permitted Users but it didn't help.Changed the Connection String to this:connectionString="Server=xx;Database=xx;Trusted_Connection=True;"All I'm getting is that my NetworkService is not permitted to access DB when I try to connect to the DB in ASP.NET.How can I properly configure that? Thanks!

Cannot Upgrade MSDE 2000 Release A To SQL Server 2005 Express Using SQL Server Authentication
I'm trying to upgrade the Default Instance of MSDE 2000 Release A which is installed with Mixed Mode and strong password to SQL Server 2005 Express in a Windows 2000 Server with SP4. On the Upgrade Logon Information screen, if I select SQL Server Authentication Mode, it will give me this message: SQL Server Setup Cannot Upgrade the specified instance by using SQL Server Credential. You must use Windows Authentication credential for the upgrade. Thanks for any help.

How To Add A New .mdf With ONLY Sql Authentication In SQL Express?
Hi all. I am going around in circles all day on this. I have a clean new install of win XP SP2, VS 2005 Pro RTM, and a NAMED instance of Sql Express with mixed authentication mode specified at setup. The sa pw is 123456 I would have liked just SQL authentication but no such option. I am trying to add a new mdf file. If I just use the "Add New Item" in VS web app project it just adds a new .mdf file with windows authentication tied to the current profile I am logged in the os with. I am trying to avoid that as this projects is to be zipped and downloaded as a sample app. I am also trying to avoid embedding an instance of SSE as the recipients of the zip file already have SSE running iwth thei VS IDE. So most logical is to create the file with SQL authentication. I have to do it by the Add Connection GUI and for data source: "Microsoft SQL Server Database File (SqlClient) " for data file name: C:WebSitesWebsite1App_DataMyDatabase1.mdf (not yet existing file) Use SQl server authentication: user: sa, password: 123456 (the ones specified at set up of the SSE) I keep getting Login failed for user 'sa'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. I keep getting the same error no matter what username I use or password, the current login, etc. It just does not let me use sql authentication. Please help anyone. This is a nightmare.

Report Manager With Forms Authentication. Report Server With Windows Authentication.
Hi. I wonder if it is possible to set forms authentication for report manager but leave report server "as it is". I need to authenticate users from external LDAP and can't use windows authentication for report manager, but I would also like to leave report server open for anonymous users. In that way authenticated administrators could create reports which anonymous users could read. I tested the Security Extension Sample and got it working when I rewrote the authentication part with my own LDAP authentication. If I have understood correctly, the report manager is just application inside report server so is it possible to use forms authentication with one application but still leave the report server with Windows authentication?

SQL Express --Windows Authentication Problems
We are using a client server setup. In testing, several people are testing on laptops. The database on SQL Server Express is local, on the laptop. So is the client applicatioon. When they unplug from the Network, and go home to work, we get "Cannot Find Server" problems. Why is this? Windows Authenentication turns off? or is it the fact that TCP / IP is open? What can we do? If we use the SQL Server Authentication, it works. If we shut down, plug into the network, restart, it works. Could anyone please throw light on this? Thanks in advance . Jeeves

Who Is The Default Owner For Sql Express In Windows Authentication Mode?
If i create a database in sql express in windows authentication mode, the database owner is in the format of 'MACHINENAMEUSERNAME'. If i connect this database to iis server i got login failed error message. This is my connection string in my web.config : Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=True;Initial Catalog=dbsgh;Data Source=software92sqlexpress I solved this problem by creating a login in sqlexpress called 'software92/aspnet' and creating a user for my database named aspnet under 'software92/aspnet' login. Then i changed the usrename in directory security of my iis virtual directory to 'software92/aspnet'. This solves my problem. But i think i m solving this problem in a wrong way. I think i should create that database under default owner. Who is the default owner? I dont know the correct procedure to solve this. Please help.

NT Authentication / SQl Server Authentication
Hi, I need to figure out what kind of Authentication , I need to use for following applicaiton Product : - 1 ) It resides on a its Domain and has access to Database on that Domain. 2 ) We have a application level login , n based on application login id display specific pages. The question that bother me is this Q ) If i use NT authentication , then a user will be required to a ) Login to domain (with userid and password) first and then b ) Then i would require to again login to applicaiton with application level login and password.(different levels of login as there) Based on the application level login i will display only specific asp pages. They have different access rights..and roles. Requirment is to login only once..and it should authenticate to application display specific pages and authenticate to SQl server database also.. Is there any way thru which i can map my application level login to SQl server.. and what authentication should i use.. Thanks, Teny

Sql Authentication Vs. Windows Authentication
I am in the process of rolling out a sql server 2005 enterprise install and had a question regarding authentication. We will be providing sql hosting for a number of groups on our campus, many who are not using our campus-wide active directory, though they all have an AD account. Windows authentication via the management studio appears to use your AD authentication tokens and will not allow them to enter a username/password combo. Is there any way to configure this? I would like to use our campus AD for obvious reasons but if there is a requirement for passing tokens this isn't going to work right? It's also going to make database mirroring more of a challenge. Thanks

SQL Authentication After Removing SQL 2000 For SQL 2005
I just removed (via Add and remove programs) SQL 2000 Server and now only have SQL 2005 left on my machine. The 2005 Server (SQLExpress?) is set up for mixed mode and I've verified that the registry setting is 2 for LoginMode, yet I'm still unable to login. This is the following error? TITLE: Connect to Database Engine ------------------------------ Cannot connect to CJL-SERVERSQLEXPRESS. ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Login failed for user 'drafttrackuser'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452) For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=18452&LinkId=20476 ------------------------------ BUTTONS: OK ------------------------------ Naturally, the link goes no where. I've searhed this site and it seems most of the problems are either more complex (linked servers, clusters etc.) or are people who haven't set the server to work in mixed mode. I've rebooted a couple of times but the errors persist. Thanks, Chris

SQL Server 2005 Authentication Failure
Hi, not sure if this is the right place to raise this question. If not please move this message. I configured a Sql-Server 2005 installation -that is running on my computer for test purposes- with "Windows Authentication". I had to change my Windows password recently and it seems as if SQL-Server does not accept my account anymore. The event viewer told me that service startups failed because user or password are unkown. Does anybody know how I may get access again? The problem seems to be that I cannot change back to my old password -unless I change it six or more times... Thanks for helping me out!
